I started watching anime when I was very young and at the time, anime was not easily accessible. I remembered that I had to rely on VHS/Betamax video. The first anime I watched was probably Voltron series but at the time, I didn’t realise that this was an anime.

If I have to pick one series that got me into anime was definitely Card Captor Sakura. I think I was so hooked on this series, I used (still do) Sakura or some other variations as my nickname in many internet forums or characters in any MMORPG I played.

The name of my blog or my internet name, Saku, was also derived from Sakura Kinomoto, the main heroine in Card Captor Sakura.

I love to hear stories of how people got into anime. Some may have stumbled upon it like me. Some may have been told by their friend or sibling. Whatever the story is I will love to hear.

If you like Mahou Shoujo type of anime, you will enjoy it and not to mention, it’s a classic anime as well. Warning, it’s quite long though, 70 episodes + 2 movies. And you’re welcome It’s my first time using reblog function :).

The first one I ever watched wsa probably Astro Boy, but I didn’t really realise it was anime. Sailor Moon was my big gateway, followed by Card Captor and then Bleach and Evangelion. After that it was hunt down anything and everything I could find.
